The next set of ideas to make money online will need some initial capital. These side hustles have grown to be much more than just ways to make money from home to pay a few bills. Some people have even gone on to scale their hustles to be full business and their income reports prove that

Blog

A blog is the best way to make money online and from home. In fact, a lot of bloggers have managed to get flexible that they do not even have to be tied to “working from home”. As long as they can get an internet connection, they can make money by producing content.

There are no extra special skills that are required to start a blog and to make it successful. In terms of what to post, there are different niches that you can delve into. However, I would recommend that you treat the blog as a business right from the start. Strategize how to get traffic, the right affiliate links and what sort of business can you start with the type of content you want to put out.

For only $3.95 a month, you can start a self-hosted WordPress blog of your own!

Create videos

Youtube is definitely one of the best ways to create a passive income stream especially if you are posting evergreen content. I personally have a small Youtube channel which I started towards end of 2019. In 6 months, I had been Adsense approved and I earn enough money to cover my groceries. YouTube is a great way to start getting your brand out there and the formula is quite the same as starting and running a blog. Be business savvy with it. If you are into lifestyle for an example, I have seen creators building an online presence which makes them start their own companies and it is no longer a hobby that you pursue to make a little extra change.

Start An Online store

An online store is a great way to start a profitable income-earning business online. These days, there are a lot of options that one has. In fact, a lot of bloggers have stores where they sell their own products (physical or digital) or use the dropshipping method to make money online

There are a lot of easy stores that you can set up with different pricing. Some you need to integrate within your website and others can simply work off of their platform.

Shopify: Shopify is an amazing platform to start your own online store. Thee are numerous videos on YouTube that show how you can capitalize on the 14-day free trial. A quick suggestion would be to plan everything before you start the trial (product, shipping and drop shipping works the best) for this strategy so that you can see in two weeks if you can actually make a profit

Sendowl: This platform is best if you are looking to sell digital products such as ebooks and custom Lightroom presets.

I will be adding to this list as I go along and try some more ideas for myself. As long as no one is asking you to pay money and it does not sound scammy, go on… give side hustles a try!
